According to doctors, H1N1 infection spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or when you are close to an infected person. Its symptoms include high fever, body ache, weakness, lethargy, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing and sometimes loss of smell. Some infected people may also experience throat irritation.
